Building stuff continues

With only 110 days until the lights are switched on, it is time to shift into high gear to complete the project. Light-O-Rama had their July sale. I have received the DC-MP3 Director and an enclosure to mount it in. I still have two more controllers to build but they only take me a day each to build.

The LED lights should be delivered mid-to-late August. I'm getting anxious for them to arrive!

Last weekend, William Morris helped me finish up the welding work I needed done. The Mega-tree Star Topper now has mounting hardware to attach it to the top of my basketball hoop pole with hooks around it for stringing the Mega-tree lights.

The 4th light pole now has a detachable cross beam which secures with 4 bolts.

The tomato cages have their tops welded together to make them into mini-trees.

I purchased 6 10ft sticks of 3/4" PVC pipe for the Arches. Cut three of them to 6ft and the other three to 9-1/2ft. They assemble with T joints. I secured the 6ft base of each one with PVC Pipe Cement and painted them Hunter Green. The 9-1/2ft pieces will remain "loose" to make wrapping lights simpler.
